There are a few benefits of shopping at Ratu Plaza for electronics in comparison to large branded department stores within the city. First of all, you might be able to find cheaper prices because most of the shops are small, private retailers which have more freedom to set prices where they want them to be. Secondly, it is often quiet which enables shoppers to take their time while negotiating discounts on products such as computers.

Unlike many of the larger malls in central Jakarta, Ratu Plaza doesn’t have a cinema. If you want to watch a movie try to check out Senayan City which is only a few minutes away.

Ratu Plaza is an older mall. You shouldn’t expect glitz and glamour here, but it is a practical place to visit if you are looking for tech gadgets or computers.
